Archive for December, 2012

At this time of year we celebrate many holidays and revel in the festivities of the season. Another year has quickly passed with the inevitable peaks and valleys of life’s landscape. We continue to make memories.

I started to reflect on my own year and one thought lead to another. These thoughts lead to my blog.

We are in a world in which technology is a huge part of our lives, and we spend a lot of time in the .com universe. However, there are many other kinds of ‘com’ assets that elevate our quality of life. The preface for ‘com’ means: with; altogether; jointly.

Here are my favourites:

Combine – Sharing your ideas or talents with colleagues and friends increases opportunities and the possibility to succeed.

Comedy – Laughter and humour infuse energy, camaraderie, and productivity. A lightness of being gets us through those particularly stressful days.

Comfort – Each of us has challenging days, be they emotional or physical. The comfort of others helps lessen the burden. Be aware of those in need and reach out.

Commend – There are certain actions taken which require a degree of risk and bravery for the benefit of others. Find ways to earn the commendation, and be quick to commend those who make the effort.

Commit – When we believe in an idea, person, or project we can demonstrate our support through firm commitment.

Communicate – The art of conversation is timeless. We have many vehicles in which to communicate. Before you write that lengthy email, consider picking up the phone or meeting face-to-face. Continually hone your skills.

Compliment – We love to be recognized for our contributions and achievements no matter how small or great. One compliment can go a long way to motivate an individual or group, and to strengthen a relationship.
